ALG Condemns Senate Judiciary Committee Vote for Radical Nominees

September 23rd, 2010, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Bill Wilson today condemned the Senate Judiciary Committee “for once again moving four radical, unacceptable nominees, including Goodwin Liu, for the federal bench to the floor of the Senate.”

Wilson had urged the committee to reconsider their support for the nominees. “Goodwin Liu is an extraconstitutional thinker who believes that the eligibility requirements for ObamaCare and other ‘welfare rights’ are perfectly within the scope of courts to interpret,” Wilson had noted. “With him on the bench, a single-payer system could be just one court decision away. The American people cannot take that chance.”

“Liu also has an expansive view of the Commerce Clause, and does not even hold as an ‘absolute requirement’ that an activity even be economic in order for it to be regulated. Guess what? That encapsulates all activity,” Wilson explained.

Wilson concluded, “Once again, the Senate Judiciary Committee has moved these four radical judicial nominees to the floor for a vote. They’re so bad that Democrats did not even have floor votes on them last time, because their extralegal views would warp and distort the Constitution, undermining the rule of law. The American people do not want more radical ideologues on the bench.”
